Meet the Team

Here at Your Next Place we take our roles seriously – but ourselves not so much.

Daniel worked for several years with an international architecture and engineering firm in Winnipeg before co-founding YNP and brings his appreciation for architectural design to YNP’s clients. Daniel grew up in Winnipeg, and is a University of Manitoba graduate with honours from the Environmental Design (Architecture) program.

Laura Foubert

Operations & leasing

Laura has a strong passion for Winnipeg, the city in which she was born and raised and enjoys helping others discover the joy it can bring. After working downtown recruiting for an innovative IT Systems Development firm Laura has learned there are lots of moving parts that determine ones appreciation of ‘home’. Laura has since found her way into a more integral part of that equation and is now matching prospective tenants with quality spaces to hang their hat through Leasing and Operational Management at Your Next Place. A graduate from the I.H. Asper School of Business, Laura plans to continue to proudly call Winnipeg her home.

Ally Loepp

Leasing Agent

Ally has been leasing premium apartments with Your Next Place since its inception and has come to recognize the need for a superior leasing experience. Having experienced firsthand the effects of rising vacancy rates, Ally has had to adapt and continues to emphasize the importance of matching the perfect place with the intended lifestyle. Working with a construction leader in Manitoba, Ally has been able to supplement her familiarity of the end product with knowledge of behind the scenes construction processes and procedures which further contributes to her ability to recognize and demonstrate value. As a Business Administration Graduate from Red River College, Ally is able to provide a knowledgeable and personable approach to leasing to help tenants find a place that they are proud to come home to.
